Shownotes

In this episode, we focus on what South Africa’s Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) control efforts mean for farmers on the ground. 

Veterinary expert Prof Ishmael Jaja explains how the disease spreads, why multiple virus strains make control difficult, and what practical steps communal and small-scale farmers can take to protect their livestock. 


Whether you farm cattle, sheep, goats or pigs, this is essential listening for anyone affected by or concerned about FMD.
